La Jeune Mariee opened in 2004 in Worthington, and Fork bought the business in 2008. This year,
she moved the shop Downtown for more space. The Main Street store includes four fitting rooms and
sells mother-of-the-bride dresses and evening gowns.

More gowns

A new bridal boutique has opened its doors.The White Dress Co., 4441 W. Dublin-Granville Rd.,
carries gowns by Alvina Valenta, Alyne by Rivini, Blush, Modern Trousseau and Hayley Paige. The
dresses are priced from $1,400 to $4,500.

Expansion plans

Thread on Grandview is expanding — in multiple ways.First: The clothing and accessories
boutique, which opened last year at 1306 Grandview Ave., will add a second location, in Dublin, in
August. Thread will take over 13 S. High St., which is occupied by the children’s clothing boutique
Create.Second: Thread is adding men’s clothing at both locations! (Yes, that gets an exclamation
point because of the market for 30- to 60-year-old men who want to look good in something other
than a suit and tie while still dressing age-appropriately.)
